BRICK-MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 510,066,` datedDecember 5, 1893.

Application iiled November l0, 1892. Serial No. 451,539.' (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, DAVID P. GUISE, a citizen of the United States,residing at Williamsport, in the county of Lycoming and State ofPennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inBrick-Machines; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full,clear, and exact description of the same, ref'- erence being had to theannexed drawings, making a part of this specification, and to theletters of reference marked thereon.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements inre-press brick machines and more particularly to means for automaticallycleaning and lubricating the plunger before it descends to press thebrick.

It has for its objects among others to provide a simple and cheap devicewhich can be readily applied and which will be operated by the pusher,requiring no additional power and occupying but little room.

The device is so arranged and mounted that as the pusher is moved thelubricating mechanism is actuated and the face of the plunger cleanedand lubricated before the said plunger descends to press the brick.

Other objects and advantages of the invention will hereinafter appearand the novel features thereof will be specifically defined by theappended claims.

The invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings,which, with the letters of reference marked thereon, form a part of thisspecification, and in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation showing theapplication of my improvements. Fig. 2 is atop plan of the bed with thepusher and its attaching rods removed and a portion of the lubricatorbroken away. Fig. 8 is an elevation of the lubricator.

Like letters of reference indicate like parts throughout the severalviews.

Referring now to the details of the drawings by letter, A designates aportion of a re-press brick machine with its plunger B in dotted lines.

Gis the pusher and C its stem or rod which is designed to bereciprocated in the usual manner in this class of devices, but as suchis well known and understood in the art I have chosen not to show themeans for operating the plunger, it being deemed sufficient to statethat it operates in the'usual manner to push the brick forward and underthe plunger after it has been'placed on the table of the re-press brickmachine.

D is a light frame consisting of the longitudinal bars d connected bythe cross or tie plates or bars e as seen in Fig. 2, and provided nearone end with the elongated slots fas seen in Fig. 2 in which are engagedthe rods E which are vertically adjustable in any suitable manner as bynuts E and also longitudinallyadjustable by suitable nuts as seen inFig. 1; these rods are connected with the pusher so as tomove therewithand carry the frame as will be readily understood from Fig. 1. It willthus be understood that as the pusher reciprocates the frameDreciprocates with it. At the other end of this frame is the scraper Fwhich consists preferably of a piece of suitable material as rubberbelting g secured between two blocks g and so adjusted that the edge ofthe said beltin g or other material at each movement of the machinebrushes o the face of the plunger. Held by the same bolt h that holdsthese blocks and the rubber or scraper together is the oiling brush Gcomposed preferably of sheep skin covered with wool'h and folded over ablock i with the wool projecting upward as seen in Fig. 1 so as to touchthe face of the plunger as it passes beneath it.

H is an oil receptacle suitably suspended in the proper position as seenin Figs. 1 and 3 and having communicating therewith and dependingtherefrom a discharge pipe H which in turn communicates with atransverse perforated pipe I through the perforations in which the oilgradually flows and from which it drops into or onto a cushion G whichhangs suspended from said perforated pipe as seen best in Fig. 1 at theproper point to be brushed by the brush G as the latter is reciprocatedas will be clearly understood from Fig. 1.

The operation will be readily understood from the foregoing descriptionwhen taken in connection with the annexed drawings and a detaileddescription thereof is not deemed necessary further than to state thatthe parts are so timed that the pusher is moved for ward to move thebrick under the plunger IOO and this While the plunger is in itselevated position, and the lubricator and cleaner moving with the pusherthe cleaner cleans the lower face of the plunger and then moves on tillthe brush Gis oiled from the cushion and on the return movement of thepusher the said brush comes in contact with and oils the face of theplunger which then descends and presses the brick in the usual way.

Modifications in detail may be resorted to Without departing from thespirit of the invention `or sacrificing any ofV its advantages.

What I claim as new is l. The combination with the plunger and thepusher, of a combined cleaner and lubricator adjustably carriedby thepusher, anda suspended cushion stationarily supported to be engaged bysaid cleaner as set forth.

2. The combination with the frame, of a cleaner carried thereby, alubricating brush also carried by said frame, an oil supply and aninterposed suspended cushion stationarily supported to be engaged bysaid cleaner, as set forth.

3. The `combination with the reciprocating brush, of the oil supply astationary perforated pipe leading therefrom, and a non-reciprooativecushion between the pipe and brush and suspended from the said pipe, asset forth.

et. The combination with the cleaner and brush, of an oil supply, aperforated pipe leading therefrom, and a non-reciprocative cushionsupported from said pipe and arranged to be engaged by the said brush,as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my namein the presence of two witnesses.
